Assets School

Assets School serves gifted and capable students, specializing in those with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. We provide a strength-based program that empowers students to become effective learners and confident self-advocates.

Our bright but struggling learners have gaps in basic reading, writing, and/or math skills that benefit from specialized instruction. Advanced students need to be stimulated with an accelerated, enriched curriculum to engage them as learners. Regardless of profile, we help students explore and cultivate their interests and strengths because learning transcends academic topics.

The Lower & Middle School Program embraces an instructional philosophy that includes small class sizes, well-trained teachers, involved counselors and a broad yet integrated curriculum. Dedicated resource teachers in art, music, computer, physical education and performing arts expand the classroom curriculum and work in partnership with classroom teachers to strengthen students’ expressive language skills and reinforce substantive knowledge.
Our innovative, multi-sensory program consists of an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio, solid instruction using research-based methodologies, a talented and well-trained faculty and experienced school counselors, which combine to provide the “learning that transforms lives” that has been the hallmark of an Assets School education for over 60 years.
Our high school curriculum is skills-based and student-driven. Basically, this means we focus on teaching kids how to learn, and we help students to move forward from wherever their starting point may be with any skill. Sometimes, we are asked if our curriculum “prepares students for college.” Yes! In fact, our curriculum and teaching are customized to students’ individual needs, which is the best kind of preparation for college for our students. We know from research that in order for students with learning differences to be most successful post high school, they must fully understand their own learning profiles, accept who they are as individuals, be able to implement tools and strategies that leverage their strengths, and be able to advocate for their learning needs. We help students at Assets High School to develop their confidence and grow their skills by scaffolding and integrating these key components to success into everything we do.
